    Sounds like a question for @cmart604 or @Lathe26!

    Going by the play cable commercial a single cart was $25. Btw I was bored and called the number to see what it is now.  It's a fax line lol.  ( I used to work in a used game store years ago and I would call old numbers for kicks , some were stick active...them you get the funny ones the the powerglove which was a adult hotline in late 90s)  but a fax line was my least expected option. Lol

    No.  Lots of reasons why that is.  Consumer confusion, complexity vs. our home menu and budget to execute are just a few reasons.

     

    We've spoken about possibly making some games totally FREE for a day though!  So (in my eyes)... even better.

    Nothing solid yet though.

     

     

     

    Free in forever  after you download it free as in you download and can play for 24 hrs? Either way awesome. :)

    Is Tiger King good?  My dad just started it and he said I would probably like it.  Worth the watch?

     

     

    It's a train wre k after a Godzilla attack and nuclear meltdown with meth bad teeth and that's just the  beginning it gets worse or better  is all.i can say.  I'd feel safer  finding out my girlfriend got her and I on as special  guests on the jerry springer show. It's like the vcs experience

    I can tell ya this... I know what the pre-orders are for Atari and it's really sad.  I'm mean REALLY sad and embarrassing.  They really need to get their messaging together.

     

    And that's from Walmart.com & Gamestop.com (Atari will NOT be in retail like us).

    We will hands down beat Atari in the 21st Century.  It's a guaranteed fact.



     

    I figured that by looking at facebook responses.    I seen people ask will the VCs be available in Canada or uk. Middle east and so on.  Atari's only response. 

     

    .after a successful usa launch we will talk more about other launches..

     

    I seriously choke up try not to laugh when I see them respond that way.  It's like they only expect to make what they promise and maybe a few more  just to save face and if dont sell so be it.

     

     

    Kinda sad I would love them to bring a legit great game machine. But even without the virus they been missed multiple launch periods.   They lucked into this unfortunate  excuse.    They could calm.people down and show some game footage if they have any.

     

     

    "Less news is good news" "hardware is hard"  

     

    ;)

     

    Tommy maybe intellivision  ends up. Buying atari and just owning the ip and logo for fully exclusive rights to.ip and more tshirts :)

    Hardcore elites.  Anything that isn't Call of Duty is crap.  I get it.  They don't think the system is for them.  They judge everything based on what they are playing now.  Most console gamers absolutely HATE mobile games.  They think they are the WORST without even understanding how many more people in the world prefer something simple and not realistic looking.  That is why I call them elitists.  They don't realize they are the HUGE minority... yet they act like they should be in control and decide what everyone else should play. 

    Once it is out and their non gaming friends are playing it... they'll finally pick up a controller and start having fun.  They'll finally get it.

    The SAME exact thing happened with the Wii.  People absolutely HATED IT when it was announced and the trailers were going around.  And that was Nintendo!  Their own fans were turning on them.  And I'll be honest... I thought it was a dumb idea at the time and that they would be out of the hardware business within a few years.  And then I saw my mom asking about it... and I was like... Wow!  My mom wants to play a video game?!?!?  I instantly got excited about the system... just based on that.

    These folks will change quickly when those types of things happen to them.  But right now they gotta be all tough and continue the narrative that mobile games suck... even though only 7% of all people who play video games are playing like they are on consoles or PC's.

     

     

    They long for the days of snes genesis and saturn and try to rip on intellivision.  Smh. Graphics are not the problem on mobile and I'm sure the amico hardware is more than capable to deliver great lokming games 

     99% of mobile is crapware but they have many gems just unfortunately you have to dig deep for them or they have ads. 

     

    Mobile lacks multiplayer and most of those games single player  leaves alot to be desired.

    Hopefully later today you guys get past the atari vcs GoFundMe preorders and whatever the eestimste online and walmart gamestop pre orders are. 

     

    Because pat said you guys won't be able to top atari because no one knows intellivision unlike atari. Lol  that was in a video months ago I think during the 5k quote or after. Lol

    Yeah!!  Those are just the ORDERS... doesn't represent the number of consoles.  Almost half the orders so far are multiple consoles!!  One person even bought more than @cmart604 who is now in 2nd place.  Shameful.   :D

     

    Amico in every room even the bathroom. 

    .. hope they have lysol next to unit or some cleaner.   Need water proof amico for the shower though

    I am trying to find out if the games have online or not.
    For example, if I want to play pong against someone online, can I do that?
    I've watched a bunch of videos (games look awesome and fun) and have seen the whole "family living room gaming" experience being touted.
    I'm all for that and think its great, but I live alone and would like to know if I also can play the vs games or any games in general with a multiplayer mode on the internet.
    I've seen in some trailers "internet FEATURES" but haven't seen any confirmation the games can be played online. (features could just mean leaderboards & DLC for all I know)
    The pre-ordering starts today and my pre-order is pending this information so can someone that knows this information please advise?
    Thanks

    No online multiplayer at launch  . Maybe later as people start asking for it

     Prob won't reveal anything til 2021

     

    1. Its budget reason

    2.  They want to establish the focus is on local multiplayer with upnto 8 real friends. 

    3. When they do multiplayer it will be more of a friends list style and not just open to random players. 

    4. I have asked about if maybe some direct connect style way.... tommy seems open to if any users find a work around ...so hopefully the gaming community get on that.

     

    5. System will gave online leader boards for local , regionally and global . And will be broken down to all time , year month week day  sort of way.

    About Sideswipers :

    Is there a mode that you can play alone ? Other cars controlled by AI ?  ( I know its much more fun with people ).

    Same thing if we are only two players. Will there be only 2 cars on the track ?

    (The questions came to my mind following a comment on youtube. )

    Thank you.

    Tommy said all games can be played single and multiplayer
